Doesn't pass the test as a mail server and history of IP shows two reported fake bounces and a fair  bit of spam over 90 days

Can't work this out, have not escalated any spam queries to email-abuse@amazon.com, is it legit or is it spam?

1/2 way agree wit Petzl 😉

  1. fake bounce: no, it's a real bounce
  2. spammer has you as return address: yes. That's why you're receiving the bounce 😞

The address that the spammer sent the spam to, is invalid (either never existed or got removed from usage) and since your address was the return address (From:) ...

another reason to hate spammers...

but no point in submitting that one, as the owner is legit... they just replied to you to let you know that "your" mail couldn't be delivered...

that's another reason why spamcop goes after the Received: headers and not the From: email addresses 😉

Sounds a bit like  "backscatter" where a provider has the "wrong" email address to use when sending out a bounce or other form of non-delivery report. Some see it as spam, some don't. Unfortunately there's often no easy  and reliable way for a provider to determine from the email headers if the return address is legit without the risk of annoying and/or inconveniencing innocent bystanders.

MIG,

This is one that does nearly sound legitimate and had me going for about 10 days now, but I think I have cracked it.  It appears that the bounce should be coming from 162.255.118.61 or 162.255.118.62 and not 54.240.8.31.  The MX record for client76701.host appears to be namecheap.com, not amazon.  The more I look at this, the more I think backscatter
